Mitoquinone mesylate explained
Mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ) is a synthetic analogue of coenzyme Q10 which has antioxidant effects. It was first developed in New Zealand in the late 1990s.[1] It has significantly improved bioavailability and improved mitochondrial penetration compared to coenzyme Q10,[2] [3] and has shown potential in a number of medical indications,[4] [5] [6] [7] being widely sold as a dietary supplement.[8] [9]
A 2014 review found insufficient evidence for the use of mitoquinone mesylate in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.[10]
